I mentioned it in my post because it seems like such an odd question. <br /><br />I agree that in many ways, homeschooling high school is easier - in that it doesn't require nearly as much hands-on time from me.

Of course, the vast majority of what I am using didn't exist back when I started. High school looked a lot more intimidating a decade ago. Didn't have these amazing online resources, didn't have the iPad apps, and it seemed like all the homeschoolers I knew back then stopped once they got to middle school or high school.<br /><br />Different world now.Debrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08416139988162419457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53873677645881723.post-45352091894324010912012-09-04T08:57:04.826-06:002012-09-04T08:57:04.826-06:00Jen!!!!

How exciting ...Jen!!!!

I am not sure if you remember me but I was on a Yahoo group back in 2002/2003 for a couple of years and I watched every choice you made for Connor. <br /><br />When I was just starting out it was so overwhelming and over here in Australia it was not easy to see much curriculum in the flesh so to speak. I listened to a lot of people and realised that you and I had similar goals for our kids with similar types of learneres. I got SMaths, SL PreK, and Critical Thinking Co books on your recommendations for my eldest. I have gone on to use them for all my boys.<br /><br />I am very grateful for your time and effort in reaching out to, and sharing with, other homeschoolers. Now I am helping to guide others as they start out and I am grateful for the start you gave me.<br /><br />Best wishes<br />Jen in OzJen's Busy Dayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01556286599575103565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53873677645881723.post-89109731854306159242012-09-03T15:38:58.722-06:002012-09-03T15:38:58.722-06:00We got that question, too, when my oldest was in k...We got that question, too, when my oldest was in kindergarten and since "Are you going to homeschool high school?" It is surprising to me that it is flowing so much better than the earlier years did. Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14688544739099660946noreply@blogger.com
